Hi Kim R,
So sorry to hear you feel neglected due to your location, it can often be difficult to find exercise physiologist in regional areas.
You can search for accredited exercise physiologists in you local area using www.essa.org.au. If you are unable to find one in your area, it may be worthwhile asking your medical oncologist or breast care nurse to refer you to one in or near your treating hospital. It is also worth knowing you may also be eligible for Medicare rebates for up to five visits a year, there is some more information about accessing Medicare rebates for allied health visits in BCNA's Chronic disease management plan fact sheet.
If you would like some help finding an exercise physiologist or exercise opportunities in your area please contact me at ftansley@bcna.org.au.
